The canopy bed is surrounded by curtains, making it even hotter inside.
Lin Yunyan put her hand on Xu Jian's right leg. There was not enough light, so she couldn't clearly see the condition of Xu Jian's leg. She only felt that the leg meat was a little tight.
It would be better to be tighter.
She knew very well what the condition of Xu Jian's injured leg was before.
The skin is cold, shrunken, and loose. In Xu Jian's words, it is a "burden."
Now you can feel a little body temperature and touch the strength of the leg meat, which is well-proportioned and powerful. This is a sign of health.
It's definitely not as good as being disease-free and pain-free, but it's already very healthy.
"Wan Yue said that you were very stable on and off the horse today." Lin Yunyan said softly.
Xu Jian laughed deeply: "I told you that day, there will be no impact."
Lin Yunyan really didn't like to hear him mention "that day". Even if climbing over the wall in the middle of the night had no impact, it would not do much good in healing the injury.
With her eyelashes twitching, she raised her eyes and glanced sideways at Xu Jian.
Xu Jian has good night vision and has adapted to the dimness inside the bed curtain. Lin Yunyan's glance certainly did not escape his eyes.
He raised his hand and landed on Lin Yunyan's shoulder, patting her gently.
Lin Yunyan removed her hands from Xu Jian's legs and lay down next to him.
Xu Jian was very angry.
Except for his injured right leg, he is not afraid of the cold in the winter. This was also the reason why he had difficulty balancing when the weather was freezing.
The room was warmer, but he was sweating due to the heat, but there was less charcoal pot, and his legs and feet felt uncomfortable.
Lin Yunyan was next to Xu Jian as if she were next to a stove. Even, unknowingly, she kicked away the two Mrs. Tang at her feet.
Xu Jian shook Lin Yunyan's hand and saw that her palm was not cold, so she said nothing more.
The two didn't speak for a while.
Without human voices, the sound of breathing is much clearer, and echoing with it is the sound of heartbeat.
Lin Yunyan rested her head on Xu Jian's arm and clearly heard two heartbeats.
She couldn't help but think that she had not experienced such tranquility for a long time.
During the period of escaping, she and Xu Jian were actually closer than when they were in the capital. The emotions generated by the hardships surpassed the peaceful life of husband and wife in the previous years, and they changed from being respectful to each other to being intimate and dependent.
But at that time, Lin Yunyan could hardly care enough to perceive those things.
Not to mention sleeping in the wilderness at night, even if you get the chance to have a bed on the roof and sleep for a night, it cannot be called a good sleep. And when it is difficult to guarantee even a good sleep, how can you rely on it to feel your heartbeat?
overlapping?
Only by returning to the past, to the current Fu Guogong Mansion, without having to worry about unnecessary things, can we cuddle up to each other so calmly and naturally, and experience the peaceful emotions that belong to the couple.
Lin Yunyan liked this very much, especially after she gradually straightened out her feelings for Xu Jian these days, this kind of reliance seemed warm and fulfilling.
With a thought in her mind, Lin Yunyan asked softly: "Speaking of which, when was the last time you hugged me like this?"
She and Xu Jian had a common past, but Xu Jian had traveled a longer distance than her, which made her curious.
Xu Jian's chest twitched and she replied with an unclear voice, as if she didn't understand her question and seemed to be thinking about it.
Lin Yunyan was about to explain a few words to him, but Xu Jian spoke first.
"Compared to what you think, it's still closer," he said, "it's also a few years old."
Lin Yunyan thought to herself, it was indeed so.
Here, from the time she wakes up in this life and goes forward, she has to count the years since she left the capital and before the Duke Fu's mansion was confiscated.
And from Xu Jian, it was Yu Menguan who woke up at some chaotic time.
Lin Yunyan raised her head and looked at Xu Jian's chin.
She had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.
Her breath was all over Xu Jian's neck, and it was so warm that Xu Jian's Adam's apple rolled.
The hand clasping her shoulder went down and landed on her waist. With the force of his fingers, he led the two of them to adjust their positions.
Xu Jian lowered his eyes to look at her.
Lin Yunyan's eyes were bright.
He leaned down, tilted slightly, and naturally found her lips, and a low "Ayan" was drowned in the deep kiss.
As the night deepened, the night wind blew against the window panels and leaked in through the gaps, causing the curtains to sway.
Lin Yunyan's breath was confused. For a moment of clarity, she vaguely reminded: "Your leg is injured..."
It's just a few words, stuck together, not a complete sentence.
What responded to her was Xu Jian's hoarse voice.
He said: "It's not broken again."
Lin Yunyan became blurry again.
Yes, it's not broken again.
Treating the injury will give you enough confidence to dare to climb over the wall and do whatever you want.
The dragon and phoenix candles burned all night, and the red wax dripped on the table in flakes.
In a daze, Lin Yunyan moved her hand down to draw out the curtain, and light penetrated through the gap, causing her to squint her eyes.
She felt bright.
It's not like candlelight, but rather bright.
"What time is it?" she asked vaguely.
Xu Jian clasped her arm back, the curtain was flat, and the light was blocked out again.
"It's still early," he said, "Don't be in a hurry to get up."
Lin Yunyan murmured and closed her eyes again obediently.
I slept until dawn.
When the sunlight filtered through the curtains, Lin Yunyan could guess the time without asking anyone.
She was the only one on the bed, and the quilt was still warm, but Xu Jian was missing.
Lin Yunyan rubbed her eyes and opened a corner of the curtain.
There was no one in the bedroom, and when she made a sound, Wan Yue came in from the outside.
"Where is the Duke?" Lin Yunyan cleared her throat, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Wan Yue said: "The Duke got up first and said he would go to the study. He told the servant not to wake you up and let you sleep a little longer."
Lin Yunyan:......
She glanced at the back window again and determined the time. It seemed to be half past morning.
There are probably not many brides in the capital who can sleep until this time on the second day after their wedding.
Everyone is busy getting up to serve tea and recognize their relatives.
Speaking of which, she used to sleep until she woke up naturally.
She and Xu Jian were the only two masters in the entire Duke Fu's mansion. The Xu family had no relatives in the capital, and they had no plans to go to the Liu family. Naturally, there was no one who needed to recognize relatives, so why did you get up early?
Of course, there are people in the house now.
Mrs. Xu and Liu Ping lived together, but obviously, Xu Jian still did not take acknowledgment seriously.
It's not that we don't care about anyone, it's just that the population is so small that it doesn't take a cup of tea to hand out a red envelope, so there is really no need to put on airs with each other.
The two of them didn't like that, and Mrs. Xu's temperament was "it's better to do less than to do more".
However, today is not completely uneventful.
Lin Yunyan stood up.
After she fell asleep in the middle of the night, Xu Jian cleaned up and changed into clean clothes. The clothes she wanted to wear were all held up by the stove, so she wouldn't feel cold when she wore them.
She put it on her body piece by piece, and Wan Yue helped her adjust the hem and neckline of her clothes. Naturally, she saw the dots of rouge on her shoulders and neck.
Wanyue's face was thin, her eyes were drooped, and her ears were all red.
Seeing her shy look, Lin Yunyan reacted and looked down, then pursed her lips.
how to say……
As expected of "it's been a few years", he didn't do it lightly or heavily.
After changing clothes and washing up, he sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair with the moon behind her.
"This is the first time this slave has combed a woman's hair." Wan Yue held the comb, "I think she can comb it well."
Wan Yue's hands were very skillful. Although she was unfamiliar at first and even blushed, she took them apart and combed them again. But after trying for a while, she got the idea. Finally, she neatly took out the hairpin earrings from the makeup box.
After Lin Yunyan finished packing, the person who went to deliver the message came back.
After waiting for a while, Xu Jian came in from outside.
Lin Yunyan raised her head and asked him: "Have you had breakfast?"
"Waiting for you." Xu Jian said.
In this case, Wan Yue hurriedly went to the small kitchen to get some porridge.
Lin Yunyan glanced at Xu Jian's legs: "Walk back? Or sit on a chariot?"
Xu Jian looked at her: "My legs are fine."
Maybe it was because she had just woken up, but Lin Yunyan suddenly heard something else from the simple three words.
She gave Xu Jian an angry look: "Two different things."
Xu Jian was stabbed in the eye, but instead of being annoyed, he suddenly smiled.
After a simple breakfast, the two of them got up and headed to the inner courtyard.
Lin Yunyan insisted, and Xu Jian did not hesitate on such a trivial matter, and arranged two chariots to go to Mrs. Xu's place.
Xu Miao got up early.
She went to bed early and woke up early. She was thinking about the newlyweds, but she didn't mean to rush them.
Hearing that the two men were coming over, Xu Miao just asked Aunt Xia: "Is the red seal ready?"
Aunt Xia hurriedly took it out from under the makeup box: "You asked me three times in the morning."
Xu Miao smiled sheepishly: "This is a sincere thought, I just miss you."
"But are you in a hurry?" Aunt Xia joked.
Xu Miao said: "What are you doing in a hurry?"
She does not have a carefree temperament, nor does she have a hard-working temperament.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that all matters, big and small, are left to the people below, so they were easily concealed from others in the past.
It is said that every time you suffer a hardship, you will gain wisdom, but Xu Miao knew that at this moment and that moment, she returned to the Duke of Fuguo's mansion, and she would rather be as before.
She is not afraid of being kept secret.
Ah Jian is the one who calls the shots, and there is no need for her to give instructions in the house.
Ah Jian will not harm her.
This is her current confidence.
As long as she follows A-Jian's advice and is less worried, her family will be able to live a smooth life.
Xu Miao sat down in the middle room and looked at Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan who came in front and back. The sunlight fell on the newlyweds, bright and bright, and she couldn't help but smile with her eyes bent.
Look, it would be nice if it goes more smoothly.
Xu Miao did not let Lin Yunyan make a big gesture, but took the tea cup and drank tea, and then handed her the red seal.
"There are no outsiders, and I won't say those words. I just hope that you will play the piano and sing in harmony in the future," she said.
Lin Yunyan smiled.
Liu Ping smiled and called "sister-in-law."
As Lin Yunyan thought, there was no time for a cup of tea before and after.
In the afternoon, she and Xu Jian got on the carriage and entered the palace to express their gratitude.
Outside Cining Palace, Eunuch Yu was already waiting. When he saw the two people arriving, he hurriedly said "Congratulations."
In the Nuan Pavilion, the Queen Mother was sitting upright.
Grandma Wang laid out the futon, and Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed.
Knowing that Xu Jian's leg was injured, the Empress Dowager did not let them kneel for a long time. She got up almost as soon as she kowtowed.
She pulled Lin Yunyan to sit next to her and looked at her carefully.
Familiarity is of course familiar, this is the little girl she has watched grow up over the years.
Strange but also somewhat unfamiliar, the little girl combed her hair. This was the first time she had seen her combing her hair.
Gently, the Queen Mother stroked Lin Yunyan's bun: "It's so fast to get married."
Lin Yunyan smiled and said: "I will marry in Beijing. I will come when you miss me, just like before."
The Queen Mother nodded.
This is what she is most satisfied with.
Just marry me by your side. If anything happens, just drop me a line and I'll be there.
Unlike Aqi, who was married so far away, it was useless for her to think about it.
"Someone came here during lunch," the Empress Dowager looked at Xu Jian and said, "He said he had something to do in the afternoon and couldn't come over. He asked you to go to the imperial study room."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jian knew that the Queen Mother had something to say to Lin Yunyan alone, so she came down and stood up to leave.
Lin Yunyan raised her eyes to look at him.
"Don't worry," the Queen Mother couldn't understand what she was thinking. "We have arranged a chariot, and we won't let him walk there."
Xu Jian thanked him.
Lin Yunyan smiled and hugged the Queen Mother: "I know you love me the most."
It was precisely because of his love for her that he loved the house and the land and made arrangements for Xu Jian.
When Xu Jian went out, the Empress Dowager said to Lin Yunyan: "Sweet-mouthed children are the most likely to eat sweets."
Lin Yunyan smiled and nodded.
The Empress Dowager raised her chin, and Grandma Wang pushed the others away.
"The Ai family has already explained what I have to explain to you," the Empress Dowager said softly, "your marriage is simple and simple. There are only a few people in the Xu family now. You are the master of the house.
As long as you get along with Xu Jian, it doesn't matter what other relatives, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law or sisters-in-law are.
It can be said that it is complicated, but it is also complicated.
Xu Jian was in such a position, but the prince just couldn't figure it out sometimes. Who knows what day he would suddenly have a whim and mess with it.
The Ai family won't hide it from you. I had thought about it before. Didn't Xu Jian have some idle thoughts when he resigned from the Ministry of War?
The Aijia thought of persuading the Holy Father to let him go and relax. You and he can go to the mountains if you want, take a rest if you want, and go further. If anything happens in the capital, it has nothing to do with the two of you.
But just after thinking about it, I calmed down and realized, where can I really relax?
If you don't hold something in your hand, once something happens, you really won't have the energy to fight back.
Besides, Xu Jian is barely related to you, but you still have a large family in the Chengcheng family, so how can you give up?
So, you still have to be more attentive. The steadier you stand, the more at ease the Ai family will be in the future."
Lin Yunyan listened quietly, her mood fluctuating for a while.
She knew these words touched her heart.
The empress only said these words to her, and it was impossible for her to mention them even a little bit to the Holy One.
Lin Yunyan sniffed the tip of her nose, leaned against the Empress Dowager, and whispered: "I understand what you mean, I really want to live a smooth life.
I thought a lot when I was preparing to get married a few days ago. This husband was chosen by God, but I also chose it myself.
I like him, very much.
I want to live with him for a long time."
The Empress Dowager patted Lin Yunyan's arm and said, "I know you like her, so you can have a good time."
